Prosecutors are scheduled to appear in court Wednesday to state officially their plans to retry Pedro Hernandez

In the weeks after a hung jury ended the first trial of the man accused of killing 6-year-old Etan Patz, the jurors met with lawyers on both sides to offer feedback and insight.

This feedback could play a pivotal role in shaping the expected second trial of Pedro Hernandez. While the evidence and basic assertions of the case are likely to remain the same in the retrial, which could be months away, the prosecution and defense have already begun initial preparations to present the case to 12 new jurors.
